villa amore

Hubby and I traveled here with our 4 & 6 year old and my parents. We all agree it was one of the best vacations ever. It was so nice to not have to worry about cooking or cleaning. The food that Jenny and Alex prepared was delicious and they were so accommodating -- always available for anything we needed and never intrusive. The pool was PERFECT for our kids. It has a shallow side where they could stand which was a pleasant surprise because our 4 year old was just learning to swim and before we knew the pool was built that way we were concerned about him not wanting to get in. He ended up learning to swim here!!! The view... gorgeous. Every night we watched the sunset from the pool area. The layout of the home is perfect with ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom plus a half bath off the living area and another half bath accessed from the exterior (great for when little ones need to go potty but they're soaking wet coming directly from the pool!). The two outdoor showers were helpful especially when returning from the beach. For us, the secluded location was great as we spent a lot of time relaxing at the house. On the days the kids were exhausted (or too sunburnt to be outside!) we were able to find some nice games and a coloring book to spend some indoor time with them. And last but not least, the owner/host, Laura, was pleasant to communicate with before and during our stay and even connected us with a concierge/travel agency weeks in advance. We hope to return!!!

It’s hard to put into words a review for this incredibly beautiful property. From the second the gates open you feel like you are driving up to your dream home. From the entrance, to the infinity pool over looking the ocean to the loungers by the pool and area to eat overlooking the ocean. Everything is top notch! And this review wouldnt be complete without mentioning the amazing Alex and Jenny! The dynamic duo that cook for you and make you feel so pampered. We messaged Alex enquiring about a cooler for the beach and within minutes he appeared with one for us. I can’t say enough about the quality of their hostility. We travelled with my sister in law and her fiancé and my mother and father in law. It was absolutely perfect. The driveway is steep but we enjoyed the workout walking up and down after our walks to the beach nearby. We would without a doubt book this property again. Laura the owner answered a million questions and helped us communicate to Alex and Jenny about our delay the evening we arrived. They held off and made us dinner at 9:00pm due to our delayed flight and it was amazing after our long day. Thank you Laura, Alex and Jenny for making our first trip to Costa Rica one we won’t ever forget. Pura Vida💕

Great week at this property. House is perfect in every way and Alex and Jenny made our stay so enjoyable. The meals they prepared were A+. Coffee at sunrise every morning over the Pacific was special. Close to beaches and activities. Really enjoyed Samara. If you are looking for high rise condo, hotels, traffic and congestion don’t go!! If you are looking for a great little beach town then highly recommended this home.
